On 17 November 2018, FII Wiki Project hosted a Wikipedia edit-a-thon on Indian Women Boxers at 91springboard Nehru Place office as a Women's Boxing World Championship special. The edit-a-thon was aimed at visibilising Indian women boxers who are currently playing at the World Championship 2018 in New Delhi, India and creating/editing Wikipedia pages of the boxers who lack representation on the platform currently. The articles were created and expanded in English. Additional statistics can been seen on the P&E dashboard here. A report of the edit-a-thon is also documented on the FII website here.
